jay FUCK YES! NEW DOPE BODY!! the grooves in this are killer! Favorite track: Hermit King.

Gato Fish I love the original sound, the vibrant creativity, and the need to get up and move! Dope Body has it all. The soul scrubbing I truly needed. Even better than birthing a solid new record is that it was a surprise. I expected them to resurface eventually but not quite so soon... Can't wait to see what else they bring to the table in 2020! This year is turning around! Favorite track: Sour Apple.

about

"Did you hear Dope Body is back in town?"

"Wait what... didn't those guys call it quits a few years ago?"

Who knows anymore! What’s a fact, anyway? That being said, the fact IS if they want to bring more music, though, who’s gonna tell ‘em no? Long story short, they were already busy, making plans and other things over the past year or so (again who really knows...?) when this worldwide plague broke loose. But hey when life gives you lemons, make..... music right? We’re all dealing with it now, distanced from the life we’ve known – but for the Dope boys, the loss of liberties opened up another dimension of time and space to get their collective heads together, even spread across the country as they are.

So this is it – an isolation-vibe mixtape full of surge-n-swag, digi-fuckd, indie-rocked, and generally hyphenated-as-fuck Dope fury way up in the mix. Their explosive alone-together head-space is rife with rock but etched exquisite corpse-style, full of fuzz, production wack and frantically-focusing lens flare Zoom-ing (notice the relevant use of pronoun here?) in and out everywhere. Man until we can all get out of our personal podspace, this is gonna be great to help face this new world coming. Hey Dope Body – what you got next?

THE RETURN

Possessed of a driving hard rock charisma and a deceptive experimental sense, Baltimore's Dope Body has been through a couple phases of activity – first, from 2009 to 2016, where they got their thing together, toured around America and Europe and made five albums of stuff – and then more recently for a couple years, with a couple more records and some shows. ... more
